The tension still hung in the air as Mr Dewayne and the doctor walked in, curiosity written all over on their faces.“Debra, would you mind explaining what exactly is going on here?.”Mr Dewayne asked as he gazed curiously at her.“Dad, before you conclude anything, please hear me out.”Debra responded with a low and soft tone.“Uhmmm, okay.”Mr Dewayne spoke.“Romeo is here to help out, he said that he can fix grandmother.”Debra spoke, her tone laced with seriousness and assuring.“What do you mean, Miss Debra, is he actually a doctor?.”The doctor asked, his tone heavy with the weight of curiosity as he walked closer to Romeo,who stood and gazed at him.“No, I am not.”Romeo responded, his expression marked with seriousness as he spoke.“So tell me, if you are not a doctor,how are you going to cure her, if I may ask?.”The doctor asked, his face painted with a scornful smirk as he gazed at Romeo.“With herbal medicine.”Romeo responded as he showed them the bottle of herbal medicin

“My name is Romeo Alexander.”Immediately, Mr Dewayne's eyes widened just as he was about to take another sip from his glass of wine.‘Alexander, There is only one Alexander in this City, and I am pretty sure he has no offspring, that means…”“Mr Dewayne are you okay?.”Romeo asked, his voice laced with curiosity as he gazed at him.“Uhmm, yeah I am fine.”Mr Dewayne responded as he then sipped on his glass of wine and then kept it on the table.“So I heard that you are staying at your friend's place.”“Uhmmm, yes Mr Dewayne, if I may ask, how did you know?.”Romeo asked.“Well my daughter told me.”Mr Dewayne responded.“Ohh, okay, that explains a lot then.”Romeo spoke as he took a sip off his glass of wine and took a glance at Debra, who then gazed down to the floor in shyness.“So tell me, Romeo, why are you living at your friend's place?.”Mr Dewayne asked, his voice laced with curiosity.‘Where are all these questions coming from?’Romeo muttered to himself as he took another si

“Don't turn around, they will suspect that you have noticed them.”Mrs Lilly spoke, her voice laced with urgency “Okay, what do you want me to do?.”Romeo asked, his voice heavy with curiosity.“Keep walking, and if you see another cab, stop it and enter, then tell the cab driver to take you back to the Mayor's place.”Mrs Lilly spoke as she sat in her black SUV and was packed just 6 feet away from Romeo.“Okay then.”Romeo spoke as he immediately waved down a cab and then entered it.“Please, I will be heading to the Mayor's mansion.”Romeo spoke, his voice soft as he gazed at the cab driver through the rear view.“Okay, Mr.”The cab driver replied as he immediately zoomed off to the direction that leads to the Mayor's mansion. After 3 hours on the road, they finally arrived in front of Mr George mansion (The Mayor's mansion). Romeo stepped out from the cab, now he is putting on an ear phone.“Nice move Romeo, now they won't suspect you are talking to someone.”Mrs Lilly spoke, her

Romeo and Mrs Lilly stepped out from the shadows of the mountain's base, the cool island breeze whispering through the air as they approached the hidden entrance. The door, camouflaged seamlessly into the rocky facade, had slid open with a soft hiss after the scanner's approval. Romeo's eyes darted around, still wide with disbelief, as they ventured inside. The passage ahead was dimly lit, carved deep into the heart of the mountain, with smooth stone walls that gleamed under faint overhead lights. The air carried a faint metallic tang, like machinery long at rest.As they walked deeper, the tunnel opened into a vast chamber,a massive plane hangar that stretched out like a cavernous underground world. Romeo's gaze lifted, taking in the sheer scale of it all. High above, the ceiling arched impossibly tall, reinforced with steel beams that crisscrossed like a giant web. Parked in the center was an enormous aircraft, its sleek black fuselage gleaming under spotlights, wings spanning wid

“I'm just kidding,hahahah, you should have seen your face, you were like…”Mr Craig Tristan saved a holographic programme, his voice heavy with sarcasm as he made a funny face. Romeo exhaled in relief.“So I am not going to die?.”Romeo asked, his voice laced with curiosity as he gazed at the hologram.“Some day…but not today.”The holographic body spoke as he folded his arm and gazed at Romeo, with a smile on his face.“What the…?” Romeo’s voice cracked like a whip, eyes locked on the hologram’s ghostly glow. “No way I’m dying. Not today. Not ever.”“Okay, okay, you are not going to die, like I said I was joking.”The hologram spoke, his tone low.“Okay, so,what’s the big secret you’re dying to spill?”Romeo asked as he leaned in, his eyes glinting,The hologram’s grin widened, almost conspiratorial. “Your father tucked a message inside me. It goes like this: “Whenever I’m bored, I drift to a place where a treat waits to freeze my soul upright; right now, that frozen place is my

“I got to get going.”Romeo muttered, already halfway to the door, boots scuffing the polished floor.“Who was that? And what did he want?”Mrs Lilly’s voice cut through the air, thick with curiosity as she lifted her mug for another slow sip of coffee, steam curling around her sharp gaze.“It was Ryan. My best friend.”Romeo paused, his hand already on the doorknob as he turned back with a frown. “He sounded… off, like he was whispering through clenched teeth. Said he needed help,now,but before I could even ask what was wrong, the line went dead. I’ve known the guy since we were kids; he doesn’t pull that unless something’s seriously messed up. Could be in trouble. Could be, I don’t know, but I’m not waiting to find out.”Mrs Lilly hesitated, her mug frozen halfway to her lips. She stared at him,really stared, her eyes narrowing like she was reading every twitch in his face. Then, without a word, she set the mug down with a soft clink and then stood and crossed the room to the weapo

He hissed under his breath, hand instinctively dropping to the knife at his hip. He crept forward, boots crunching on gravel, until he reached the sleek black sedan idling in the shadows. The driver’s window hummed down.“I’m sorry for flashing the lights like that, young master.” The man said, his voice smooth and apologetic. “Just trying to get your attention.”Romeo leaned in, his voice low. “Who are you?”“I’m Mr Craig’s driver. Which makes me your driver too, sir.”Romeo didn’t hesitate,yanked the back door open and slid in. “I’m in a hurry. Take me to the Mayor’s mansion. Now.”The driver’s smile flashed in the rearview. “Yes, sir.”The engine purred to life. Tires gripped the mountain road as they shot forward,smooth at first, then aggressive, hugging tight curves, headlights slicing through fog and pine. The city lights below grew brighter, closer. An hour and twenty minutes later,Romeo checked his phone every five,and they screeched up to the towering gates of the Mayor

Romeo was still in shock as he locked his gaze on the monitor screen that displayed the photograph image of the men that tailed him earlier today.“Romeo, would you mind telling me what is going on?.”Mr George asked, his voice low and steady as he sat and gazed curiously at Romeo. Who then slowly gazed at him.‘Ohh shit! He has found out about the men from yesterday and his suspicion has grown even higher, I guess…I guess I have no other options, I have to tell him everything.”Romeo muttered to himself.“I…I don't know how to put it for you to understand, Mr George.”Romeo spoke, his gaze now drifted down to the floor. Mr George then smirked.“I know already, Romeo.”‘Wait, what?’Romeo muttered under his breath as he gazed up at him.“You…know?”Romeo asked, his voice laced with curiosity as he stammered.“Yeah, I know, you are in a gang, right?”Mr George spoke, his voice soft as he gazed back at the screen.‘Wait, what!!’Romeo muttered to himself as his gaze widened in surprise.

“Ohh, those gangs, they are actually good at what they are doing, you know.”‘Wait what?’Romeo muttered.‘The gang actually exists, holy crap I am a dead man.’“So Romeo, which Rank are you?.”Mr George asked.“Ohh, ummm…I am still a rookie,Mr George.”Romeo responded as he forced a smile to his face.“A rookie, okay, you can go now.”Mr George spoke as he turned and gazed back at the monitor. Romeo exhaled in relief and then turned and opened the door, then walked out, he closed the door behind him and began to walk towards the stairs.‘That was close, I should be more careful around Mr George, speaking of which, I have no Idea that such gang exists, damn, I am so screwed right now, I should go and plan on the make up date, I should go and asked Ryan for suggestions on where I should take her.’Romeo muttered to himself as he walked down the stairs.Meanwhile, in the west side region of Gem City, high atop a twelve story glass and steel penthouse that stabbed into the smoggy night s

Back at Mr George's mansion (The Mayor's mansion, Romeo and Ryan sat on a couch in their room.“Bro you gotta be kidding me, seriously!”Ryan spoke, high and serious as he got up from the couch and gazed at Romeo.‘What did I say wrong?’Romeo muttered to himself.“Ryan, what did I say wrong? I just said that I think I am going to take her to a food stand at the Gem City local restaurant.”Romeo spoke as he leaned backwards on the couch.“That is the problem, the food stand? At the Gem City local restaurant, men, that isn't cool men, you should take her to a luxury restaurant, like the one owned by the air force commander.”Ryan spoke as he turned and walked towards his wine cabinet. Romeo's eyes widened as he gazed at Ryan, who is now pouring himself some glass for wine.“Are you sure that place is the best place?.”Romeo asked, his voice laced with curiosity as he sat and gazed at Ryan.“I am not just sure, Romeo and I know it is the best place for a thing like that, come on men, ta
